Certain technical data in this Presentation was taken from the technical report entitled “Technical Report on the Railroad and Pinion Projects, Elko County, Nevada USA" dated March 31, 2014 (the
“Railroad-Pinion Report”) and is subject to all of the assumptions, qualifications and procedures described therein. Steven R. Koehler, the Company's Manager of Projects, BSc, Geology, and CPG 10216, a
qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects has approved the scientific and technical information in this Presentation. The following is a general
description of the Company's sampling methodology, chain of custody, quality control and quality assurance procedures applicable to its drill results contained in this Presentation, save and except for
historical results. All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists and the chain of custody from the drill to the sample preparation facility is continuously monitored.
Core is cut at the Company's facility in Elko, Nevada and one half is sent to the lab for analysis and the other half retained in the original core box. A blank, quarter core duplicate or certified reference
material is inserted approximately every 10 to 15 samples. The samples are delivered to ALS Minerals' preparation facility in Elko. The samples are then crushed and pulverized and sample pulps are
shipped to ALS Minerals' certified laboratory in Reno, Nevada or Vancouver, B.C. Pulps are digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish on a 30
gram split. All other elements are determined by ICP analysis. Data verification of the analytical results includes a statistical analysis of the duplicates, standards and blanks that must pass certain
parameters for acceptance to insure accurate and verifiable results.

Recognizing the potential economic significance of the Bald Mountain discovery, Gold Standard commissioned
metallurgical tests of the core from hole RRB 13-01. Inspectorate used the following procedure: 30 gram pulp
samples were agitation-leached for one hour at room temperature in 60mls of 0.3% sodium cyanide solution.
he solution also had a 0.3% concentration of sodium hydroxide in order to stabilize the pH at greater than
10. Pregnant solutions were analyzed by a matrix-matched-calibrated AAS. Internal blanks, standards and
duplicates were also analyzed at a frequency of approximately one of each for every 35 samples.
Fourteen of fifteen samples provided an unweighted average recovery of 82.2%. The better recoveries were
skewed toward the higher grade samples (see table above)
Metallurgical Tests...North Bullion
Newmont USA Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE:NEM) (“Newmont”) provided the Company
with the results of metallurgical tests of drill core from the North Bullion deposit conducted by Newmont. The tests were
designed to determine if North Bullion deposit mineralization is amenable to the established recovery technologies
commonly used for Carlin-type ores. The three samples were considered to be refractory material
A scope of work was generated to conduct head assays (duplicate fire assays, cyanide leachable gold assays, and preg-
rob assays), carbon and sulfur assays with a LECO furnace and a multi-element ICP-MS assay.
Sample #1 represents a 95 foot lower breccia interval from 1200 to 1295 feet in hole RR11-18.
Sample #2 represents a 45 foot upper breccia interval from 960 to 1005 feet in hole RR12-01.
Sample #3 represents a 20 foot lower breccia interval from 1160 to 1180 feet in hole RR13-08.
